The technological enablers for widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) have fallen into place. Early movers in technology industries have driven initial applications, but the scene is now set for widespread and accelerated adoption.

This has caused an AI renaissance, but not everything is solved yet. There is a complex landscape of hardware, data and algorithms to navigate. And of course, making the new AI systems robust, responsible and explainable is not necessarily straightforward.

In this paper, we look at what is happening in today’s market to spark this AI innovation. Perhaps more importantly, we explore where the opportunities lie for ambitious businesses in the coming years.

The paper explores how this innovation will be driven by the interplay of AI with other technologies. For example, there are many synergies between AI and 5G, and a growing opportunity to take advantage of advances in semiconductors to deploy AI that is smaller, faster and at the edge.
